Behind the knights who washed up on the beach, countless small boats were put into the water, and they quickly rowed towards the shore with their armor, equipment, and food supplies.
Overhead, magicians roared in. They were flying around, on alert.
Then nearly a hundred carriages rushed out. The horse pulling the carriage struggled to pull the heavy carriage to the shore amidst the rain of whips and the roar of the coachman.
The soldiers and sailors nearby were also holding hands and shoulders, dragging the car ashore.
Since everything was well planned in advance, the entire operation was orderly and extremely fast. In less than three hours, nearly two thousand people and horses had all landed on the beach.
After everyone rested for a while, the Temple Guard Knights showed their long-trained qualities and put on their shining armors again in a very short period of time, and then began to form formations in all directions.
Sent out to explore the horse.
At the same time, supplies were also loaded onto the carriage.
Except for a few mages left to patrol and guard in the sky, the rest of the people and priests also crowded into the carriage. Then the coachmen roared with whips and drove the horses pulling the carriage, closely following the knights.
Behind him, he rushed inland.
Behind them, rumbling explosions kept sounding.
The warships that were originally serving as escorts turned their bows and began to bombard those expensive transport ships. Those transport ships that were stopped and could no longer move were blown into pieces.
In just a moment, apart from the footprints left on the sand beside the beach and the fragments of ships in the sea, there was no evidence to prove that an elite force had just landed here.
There is no need to worry about those footprints and ship fragments. As long as the next high tide comes, the footprints will be washed away by the sea water. The ship fragments and wooden boards will also be washed away by the tide and swept into the depths of the sea.
At this time, when those warships saw that their mission was completed, they sounded a loud horn, then turned their rudders, raised their sails, and chased in the direction of the fleet.
Lorraine rode forward, and when he was galloping up a hill, he looked back and saw that all the battleships had turned into small black flames on the sea level.
He whistled, led a group of others, rushed inland, and then ran wildly toward the southeast along an old road that was in disrepair.
Fortunately, most of them are hilly and plain at this time, and those vehicles are all carefully built and modified by the Flying Eagle Company. The tires are also specially widened, so they can run on this kind of road. If you change to other vehicles, you will not get out of the car.
After twenty miles, I was knocked to pieces.
Even so, everyone sitting in the car was stunned and moaning endlessly.
They ran all the way, and towards dusk in the afternoon, someone came to report that a small town appeared a few miles ahead.
Lorraine sat on the horse, thought for a moment, and then waved her right hand above her head.
At that moment the knights had already galloped out.
Looking down from mid-air, you will find that they are divided into two groups, tightly surrounding the town like a pair of pliers.
Several mages also flew into the air, looking down at the ground menacingly like vultures, closely monitoring the situation in the town.
Seeing this, Lorraine took the lead and rushed over on horseback.
They rushed into the town, and the thunderous sound of rolling iron hooves immediately alerted everyone in the town.
A group of residents were sitting at home eating dinner when they suddenly saw these murderous ruffians. They didn't know which way the monsters were crossing the border. They were all scared to death.
When they saw these guys with angry horses and ferocious faces, wearing standard military uniforms, and they didn't look like bandits coming down from the mountain, they felt even more frightened.
As ordinary people at the bottom, they still understand the eternal and universal truth that "bandits are as good as combs, and soldiers are as good as grates".
A few brave ones wanted to escape, but they were immediately discovered by the magicians in the sky, who threw several fireballs down, leaving them disgraced and screaming in agony.
Lorraine rode to the town square.
By this time the mayor had already received the news and came forward with a smile on his face.
Before Lorraine could speak, the mayor had already nodded and bowed and said: "Sir, thank you for your hard work. Sirs, thank you for your hard work. I understand the rules. Please be merciful, haha, be merciful~~"
As he said that, he took out a shabby red envelope from his pocket and handed it over.
Lorraine took it in astonishment.
The mayor took out several more red envelopes and distributed them one by one to the officers behind Lorraine. While handing them out, he said: "Sir, thank you for your hard work. Sir, it's a little trivial. Please accept it, please accept it..."
"
Everyone waiting could not help but be stunned for a while. Although as an invader, it is natural to steal money and things, but it seems a bit embarrassing to take money in this way.
They took the red envelope, neither accepting it nor withdrawing it. They all turned to look at Lorraine in embarrassment.
Lorraine calmly accepted the wallet and said, "Do you know who we are?"
The mayor raised his head and looked at the crowd, then smiled cautiously and said: "Sirs, the army is so majestic. You can tell at a glance that it is a mighty army that can defeat a hundred, the elites of the empire. Sirs, please wait a moment.
Be anxious. We will prepare meals for you adults right away."
Lorraine couldn't help but feel dumbfounded. She turned around and looked at the officers next to her. She saw that many of them had their hands on the hilts of their knives and looked at the mayor fiercely. She couldn't help but feel moved in her heart, and then turned to the mayor who was about to pee his pants in fear.
Said: "Then my brothers..."
As if he had received an amnesty, the mayor hurriedly slapped his chest and said, "Don't worry, sir. Don't worry, sir. When you come to the town, it's like coming home. We will definitely let the brothers eat well and have a good rest."
Lorraine looked delighted, nodded happily, and said: "Very good, lead the way for me~!"
The mayor bowed to the ground and said: "Yes, sir, thank you sir. Please follow me."
Then he turned around and led everyone in Lorraine towards the largest and most luxurious house in the town.
Lorraine heard an officer behind him laughing jokingly: "What did he thank us for? Is he thanking us for not robbing them?"
Everyone couldn't help but grinning and burst into wild laughter.
When the mayor heard their laughter, he knew that although these ruffians were better than the officers and soldiers he usually saw, they were not easy to serve either, so his face couldn't help but turn paler.
Lorraine turned around and scolded: "You bunch of bastards~! Please be more honest. Don't let me down your guard when you get here~!"
"Yes, sir." All the officers agreed in unison.
Lorraine then ordered: "Let the common people vacate all the houses on the outskirts of the town and drive them all to the center of the town. If anyone dares to move, I will kill him."
At that moment, an officer agreed and said, "Yes, sir."
Then he glanced at the frightened and trembling mayor and rode away with murderous intent.
Lorraine looked at the green-faced mayor, but ignored him, and continued to order: "Send out all the security sentries and scouts. After a while, I will go over to check the posts to see who is lazy. I will use a whip.
Beat him to death~!"
Two more officers agreed and galloped out.
Lorraine stood there and waited for a while, hearing the officers' scoldings and various commands coming from all directions in the distance.
Immediately afterwards, the cries of women and children, and the angry curses of men could not be stopped.
Lorraine knew that they had completely surrounded the town and began to clean up and check the people from house to house. Then he looked at the mayor and smiled and said: "Mayor, didn't you take us to rest?"
The mayor heard the cries and curses coming from not far away, and then saw the polite smile on Lorraine's face. He turned a deaf ear to those voices, and he couldn't help but feel suddenly, and thought to himself
: "This guy is really a devil~!"
If Lorraine knew what he was thinking, he would definitely laugh at the country bumpkin for not seeing the market. Because this is already the limit of what he can do, such as freezing to death without demolishing the house, starving to death without grabbing food, etc.
The military, which mostly exists in literary and artistic works, pays people specifically to brag on its behalf.
In reality, this kind of thing cannot be said to happen, but it is extremely rare.
Lorraine took several military officers and guards and followed the mayor to the most luxurious house in the town.
After entering, Lord Lorraine looked around and immediately looked down on the mayor. He saw that the inside was tacky, simple and ordinary, even compared to the villagers' residences in his own territory.
But it was getting late at this time, but setting up camp in the open was troublesome and took time, and his old man was also very unaccustomed to living there. Unlike the knights who protected the temple, they were still happy no matter how much hardship they suffered.
, at the same time, I also sincerely thank God for giving them hardships and experiences.
In Lord Lorraine's view, it was because the bald men in the Holy See deducted them too harshly in order to squeeze out the funds for the "playing to death" activities, and then turned around to deceive those stupid soldiers and asked them to fight hard.
of.
However, in any case, living in a room is better than living outside, so Lorraine was not polite and stayed in that room.
However, Lorena and others came in and took a look around, but felt that the house was too inadequate, so they returned to their carriage to rest.
In addition, the soldiers also followed the order, drove the people out, and then camped out on the outskirts of the town.
Immediately afterwards, without waiting for Lorraine's instructions, the mayor took a dozen strong men from the town and randomly caught more than a dozen fat pigs, goats, chickens, ducks and other poultry, slaughtered them in a hurry, and then
Under the supervision of the guards, meals were cooked and served.
Everyone was tired after a long day. When they saw the food, they all rushed up, stuffed their stomachs randomly, and then fell asleep.
When Lorraine was eating, she saw Leo sitting across from him eating, with a bone in his mouth, and then fell asleep on the table, and she couldn't help but feel pity for him.
Ordinary people think that the emperor is a good person, he is popular, drinks hot food, and wears pants with nine dragons embroidered on them. The state can also pay for him to have a mistress for him and have many wives.
But all these are just to see the thief enjoy spending money while eating and drinking, but not to see the pain when the thief is caught and beaten by everyone. It is not easy for them.
Not to mention that in order to become the boss, classmate Gou Jian gave his girlfriend Xi Xiaoshi to the boss Fucha. He even tasted the boss Fucha’s stool with his own mouth.
Not to mention that classmate Li Shimin killed his brother and brother and forced his father to abdicate. (And later killed his son?)
Not to mention that in order to become a qualified emperor, classmate Chongzhen reluctantly gave up the beauty Chen Yuanyuan to classmate Sangui...
Just take Leo as an example. At this time, ordinary children are still peeing and playing in the mud. When they are playing carefree, he has to take risks and fight with him to learn knowledge and accumulate experience so that he can be better in the future.
Become a qualified emperor.
According to Catherine, Ruman's royal family, the proud Flying Eagle family, has always cultivated heirs in this way.
Grand Duke Julius joined the army at the age of nine and fought his way through the army with sword and spear. This made him famous as a peerless general. No one in the world dared to look at him. Otherwise, the Ruman Empire would have turned into something.
It is an integral part of the sacred territory of a country.
Catherine looked at Leo lying on the table and sleeping soundly, with a large pool of drool drooling from his mouth. She couldn't help but smile bitterly, stretched out her hands and gently picked him up. Then she said hello to everyone in Lorraine and turned around.
left.
Luolina watched their backs disappear outside the door. When she turned around, Luo Lin frowned, as if she had something on her mind and was thinking about something. She couldn't help but asked with concern: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
Lorraine thought for a moment and said, "You know? Our journey seems to be a little smooth."
Luo Linna couldn't help but raised her eyebrows and asked curiously: "Success? Shouldn't success be a good thing?"
Lorraine touched her chin and said, "Maybe I'm superstitious. I always feel that if something goes too smoothly at the beginning, it's not a good sign."
Luolina couldn't help but feel angry and funny at the same time, and said: "What's your logic? If everything goes smoothly, it's not a good sign. What you mean is that we will encounter a storm along the way, and then hundreds of people will die when we land.
Man, is this a good sign?"
Lorraine smiled bitterly and said, "That's why I said that I might be a little superstitious."
He paused and saw that everyone around him was staggering tiredly. He couldn't help but get up and said: "Okay, after everyone has eaten, go back and rest quickly. We have to go on the road early tomorrow. Do you understand?"
At the last sentence, he suddenly raised his voice and shouted loudly.
Everyone was shocked immediately and woke up. They stood up in a hurry, stamped their feet heavily, and replied in unison: "Yes, sir~!"
Then they scattered in all directions.
Lorraine also sighed heavily while sitting on the chair, with a tired look on her face.
Luo Linna glanced at him, and then said calmly: "Lorraine, if you are tired, why not go and take a rest early~! I will be on duty here."
Lorraine rubbed his face, shook his head, and said: "No. I have to go out for a patrol and check the sentry post. Then see if anyone is lazy. We are on the enemy's land now, so we should be careful in everything.
It’s good.”
With that said, he cheered up, stood up, and walked out of the door.
Lorraine patrolled outside and found that these Templar Knights were indeed the sharp swords of the Holy See. Even though they were running all the way, their faces were very relaxed, with just a slight look of dust, as if they had just taken a walk.
Same.
He walked around and found no problems, so he felt relieved. After returning, he was exhausted, so he wrapped himself in a blanket and fell asleep.
Just when he was sleeping like crazy and dreaming of sweet dreams, he suddenly heard a voice coming from next to him, "Lorraine, Lorraine..."
Lorraine was dreaming that she and the demon girl with short hair and slender legs were talking about very serious philosophical issues of postmodernism. She was very happy. She muttered a few words, was about to turn over, and went to sleep.
Immediately afterwards, I heard the voice say: "Go and bring me a pot of boiling water."
Lorraine's mind suddenly froze, and then she suddenly woke up. As soon as she opened her eyes, she immediately saw a face as delicate as jade came into her eyes.
He couldn't help but sigh, and when he turned his head and saw that it was still dark outside the window, it was still early, his heart sank, knowing that the man would not call him for no reason, so he hurriedly turned over and sat up, saying: "What happened?"
Thing? Lorena."
Luolina looked embarrassed and said: "We just caught a resident who wanted to run out to report the news."
Lorraine was stunned and said: "Do you still need to tell me about such a trivial matter? You are the star officer on duty, can't you just handle it yourself?"
Lorena hesitated.
Lorraine looked at the look on her face and couldn't help but sigh. She knew in her heart that even though this woman was usually fierce, she sometimes killed people without mercy. But if she really wanted to order a civilian to beheaded, she would still have to do it.
I can't let it go.
He waved his hand and said: "Forget it, bring that man up and let me take a look."
After a moment, a guy with a bloody face, a bruised nose and a swollen face was pushed up with his legs tied up.
Lorraine looked vaguely familiar. After taking a closer look under the firelight, she realized that the man turned out to be the mayor himself.
After the mayor came up, he held his head high and looked heroic and unyielding, and cursed: "You damn invading troops~!"
Lorraine couldn't help but be surprised and said: "How do you know we are invaders?"
The mayor curled his lips and said disdainfully: "The money in the red envelope is so small, but you actually accepted it. And you only slaughtered a few pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks, and you weren't picky about it. In the end, those big soldiers didn't take advantage of it."
At night, I took the opportunity to harass women. I have never seen such honest troops in our empire~!"
Lorraine, Lorena, and the officers and guards standing nearby couldn't help but look at each other.
Only then did they realize that they originally thought they had gone too far by harassing the local area and disturbing the people, but this style of work was so childish that it was even worse than the local army. It really embarrassed the invaders.
It’s all done~!
Everyone felt ashamed at that moment.
Luo Linna looked at the man and said, "Isn't this a good thing? Why do you have to escape and report? Is this empire that only oppresses you so worthy of allegiance?"
